A dedicated IP address suggests that you will have a unique numeric identifier on the Internet and that it will not be shared with other's websites or apps as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are various uses for a dedicated IP - including, when an SSL certificate is needed in case you have an e-store and you need to accept online payments or in the event that you have a login form and you'd like the information that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address can also be used for other programs, such as a VoIP server, for instance. In addition, it'll provide more credibility and protection to your websites, given that a network flood to a shared IP won't have any impact on your dedicated IP. In case you host your sites with our company and you have your own web server, you shall be able to get one or several dedicated IP addresses with simply a couple of mouse clicks and to use them just in case you cannot use the IP provided with the hosting server.
